"Personal best "....opionions required

[Garesfield ACE]

Hi all

A few weeks ago I shot my personal best of ANYWHERE Ive played at my own course of 93.

Yesterday I shot 91 (including a horrendous 10 at 1 hole ) at another course.This course is around 1400 yards shorter than mine but still tricky to play and the conditions were heavy wet grass with lots of drizzle/showery.

The thing is I dont no what to accept in my mind is my personal best score now as I shot lower on a much shorter course away from my own course.
Technically the 91 is my best.....but?...but?

Cheers

Kev

18 holes is 18 holes... A par 69 can be harder than a par 73 and you waste most shots around the green I say a best is a best.

I still count my best of 81 at East Brighton as my best 18 ever and my back 9 there of +1 gross my best also.

I guess its a personal thing, you set your own targets and records and no one can take a good score away from you where ever you do it!

91 is your best score in my eyes, nice shooting

I'd look at it in relation to par or SSS.
Shooting 90 on a par/SSS 72 is better than shooting 89 on a par/SSS 65.
Having said that there's always the feat of "breaking 90 or 80 or 70" so it's a tricky one.
Mine's a 69 on a par 71 SSS 69.
Better than the 68 on a par 68 SSS 65.

If it's a proper course not a par 3 it always has got to be lowest number in my eyes. So you lowest score is 91 but you can also keep track and say my best score is +19 like Imurg says.

Hold on one cotton-pickin' minute.

Forget length and all that Jazz. Par is where it's at.

How many over par is the question.

In the event of a tie, go with the SSS.

No ..... as some one who is not very good a score is a score. If you get a hit trick in football is it a hat trick no matter who against? if you get a ton in cricket is it a ton??? PB is PB

Ive only got time for a quick reply at the minute

My 93 on my course the par is 72 = 21 over

My 91 yesterday the par was 66 = 25 over

 

[jasondransfieldgolf]

Your lowest score is 91 and your best is +21. I have shot my lowest score 3 times and they vary a few shots to actually par. I am happy with all three in different ways.

Dont agree....I know some courses have par 5s that are shorter than the par 4s at my course. Besides that, a 460 yard par 4 or a 360 yard par 4, you work it out.

All I would say is when you break a barrier like shooting in the 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's or even 50's do you say I have finally broken 80 even if its a par 70 of course you do.
